Air Ambulance Services in Buffalo, New York
Buffalo missions cover the full range of air ambulance and medical transport services we run statewide. Critical patients move on a dedicated jet with a flight nurse and paramedic. Stable patients moving long distances often qualify for a commercial medical escort or a stretcher configuration on a scheduled airline, either of which keeps cost lower than a dedicated jet. Neonatal and pediatric missions use transport isolettes and specialty crews. Hospital-to-hospital patient transfer and international medevac are both routine out of Buffalo.
